    I saw this on the news this morning. I like the sail shaped one too. But to be fair, any of the finalists are a much needed improvement on what we have currently.

    I would definitely have chosen the sail-shaped design. But that would probably have been more of an aesthetic choice, seeing how it doesn't seem to have a high capacity for cables.

    However, I'm not that keen on the winner. Seems to be a choice more geared towards economy than practicality. Some designs were ridiculous, such as the man-woman one!
